Scipione Compagno

Scipione Compagno, an Italian painter, was born at Naples about 1624, and was still living in 1680. He was a pupil of A. Falcone and of Salvator Rosa, and his drawings are held in esteem. The Belvedere, Vienna, contains two works by him, the Eruption of Vesuvius and the Beheading of St. Januarius.
